"The real story here is that Lieberman's aides are now openly threatening Senate leader Harry Reid by saying that Lieberman will stop caucusing with Dems if his chairmanship is revoked:

"Senator Lieberman's preference is to stay in the caucus, but he's going to keep all his options open," a Lieberman aide said. "McConnell has reached out to him and at this stage his position is he wants to remain in the caucus but losing the chairmanship is unacceptable."

He doesn't care about this country and felt no remorse for the death and destruction we unleashed on a sovereign nation. He is such a vile POS. The scumbag has been trying to start up a third war while our soldiers and innocent civilians are still dying in two other wars. It shows his allegiance isn't to this nation. Fuck him.

Lieberman = traitor?

[StoogeWatcher]

"Tolerant" liberals hate Lieberman because he's Jewish.

The thing is that he has to wait for Democrats to fall flat on their faces, if they do at all. Republicans have already fallen flat on their faces over the last 8 years. zzzziiiiinnnnnnng.

Lieberman needs plastic surgery to reduce his nose. Then it will be easier to kiss Republican ass.

Lieberman will have the last laugh. He will become a Republican and wait for the Democrats to fall flat on their faces and lose power four years from now. Then, he'll be a force to reckon with. The Democrats are acting spitefully and will live to regret it.

Joe should be publicly humiliated by being placed in the stocks on the Washington Mall and pelted with rancid tomatoes!

Screw Liebertraitor

Joe Lieberman does not represent the interest of Americans. He has his own interests he pursues, especially regarding the Middle East

Lieberman supported McCain because he knows Obama's dad was Muslim and he felt Obama was sympathetic to the Middle East
